    You’re right. Yao didn’t have genetically arthritic knees in his 20’s.

    Random unknown football players “who had this surgery” (you don’t even know what he had done) are a much better comparison….

    Baby David improves to 6 - 3 since 8/13. @MadMax how the **** are we going to make the playoffs with a 0.667 winning percentage?!

    And he would likely have hit career milestones like 500 HR and others that would have made casual fans realize he is among the handful of best MLBers of all time, and among the top 5 1b ever.

    It was payback for Bagwell picking on them for the previous 15 years

    Oh, you mean patellar surgery, which Titus Howard had this offseason? You know another guy in his mid- late 20's. This isn't the type of injury that should derail a guys career.

    BTW, Yao's injury happened because a huge man played on the hardwood year round for years. The damned Chinese Govt.

    I was a senior in HS in Bagwell’s 1st year. I remember, when the season started, not knowing anything about him or most of the other guys on that team. We lost like 95 games that year but I loved that team.

    Patella is just Latin for "knee cap"

    I'm pretty sure Yordan's surgery was not on his knee cap.

    Love that Alex is able to play 3b, especially w/ Brown on the mound.

    I hope the bottom of the lineup has a few good and productive PAs.

    He’s apparently horrible against LHP.
